About Tom
Tom is a very well mannered and happy dog. He loves affection , and scratches and especially loves his treats. He also would love to snuggle up on the couch with you.
Tom's always happy, likes his walks but short walks are good for him. He does like to pull to get from one tree to the next and also if he sees squirrels or rabbits he wants to chase.
He is house-trained, and does not require a crate. Sleeps well at the side of the bed.
Tom knows most commands like sit, come, stay, lay down.
Tom wasn't introduced to any new dogs while in foster care, but dogs would walk on the other side of road and he was ok with that. Tom lived with two other dogs, and was ok with them, except would nip if they came close to his food. He will also nip if you go near his toys, so you would just need to take some precautions.
Anyone looking for a great companion? He’s your guy!

Why We Love Fostering
-
Fostering is such a rewarding experience and works great for us as it is very flexible. We love seeing the difference in their personalities from day 1: from timid and nervous to a happy, healthy, better-socialized dog. It gives them time to decompress before going to their perfect home. Fostering enriches our lives knowing we are saving a life each time, and giving them a better life ahead. It warms the heart knowing you were part of this process.
Why We Love Fostering
-
From fluffy kitten cuddles, to endless purrs and kisses, fostering allows me to live a true “crazy cat lady’s” dream! Most importantly, it gives me the opportunity to have a positive impact on the lives of kittens/cats - some of which have come from very sad and difficult situations - and provide them with a safe and loving start before they go to their furever homes. While it is always challenging to say goodbye, I find comfort in knowing that there is a thorough application process to ensure the kittens/cats are adopted into the purr-fect home.
